Chapter 403

Candles were lit in the church. The white walls were clean and calming to look at.

They could hear the faint sound of hymns being played and the sound of a bell. Melanie looked at Xander. “Why did you bring me here?”

Xander said, “We’re here to light a candle.”

Many people were in the church, but it was surprisingly quiet.

Xander looked at the floor, saying, “I came here to light a candle for my grandma when I was young.”

The place to light the candles was in the backyard. The volunteer responsible for keeping the records muttered a blessing with his eyes closed before handing Melanie the candle.

Melanie pursed her lips and looked at the candles on the rack silently.

Only when the breeze swayed the fire on the candles did Xander speak, “My grandpa said lighting a candle here can help the ones we love find their way to heaven.”
